Embedding Sustainability in Talent Acquisition and Retention Practices

Abstract

Sustainability has evolved from being a corporate responsibility initiative to becoming a core element of business strategy across industries. In the domain of human resources (HR), particularly in talent acquisition and retention, embedding sustainability offers organizations competitive advantages by promoting ethical practices, fostering inclusivity, and enhancing long-term growth. This research paper explores the role of sustainability in HR practices, focusing on sustainable talent acquisition and retention strategies. The paper examines relevant literature, proposes a conceptual framework, and analyzes how companies can integrate sustainable practices to improve employee satisfaction, reduce turnover, and enhance employer branding. The study also suggests future research directions for embedding sustainability within the HR practices.
